Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for an amazing launch of Wild Ride with Steve O. We're back for episode two.

It was the last thing that we recorded before this whole shutdown went crazy.

And my guest is clearly quite sick as we taped it. I think it's likely he's got the rona.

But hey, judge for yourself. He's an incredible stand up comedian. His name is Bert Kreischer.

He's a raging alcoholic and a very dear friend. I really can't speak highly enough for how much fun we had doing this.

And let's just get into it, ladies and gentlemen. Enjoy the Wild Ride. You okay?

I'm always impressed by your technical technological know-how. Do you realize that's not who we saw you as when we first met you?

I thought about you the whole fucking plane flight. Hey guys on the podcast today's book, Chrysler.

I thought about you on the plane the whole fucking time. Which plane? My flight, my flight home.

I flew this morning. Yeah. Do we got to talk about flying?

Oh, because, Jared, when you and I first met. Yeah.

We were talking about loyalty programs on airlines and you said, dude, this executive platinum is not the highest level of frequent flyer.

What do you call it privilege? Nope. You said there's a secret higher level and you got to know about it. It's now become public.

Yeah, I trouble I get in trouble for talking about it. They took it away from me at one point.

As I mentioned, Ron Rogan. Yeah. For people who don't understand what we're talking about, we should say that with accumulation of frequent flyer miles, you get different levels of status.

The first one being I believe gold, then silver gold platinum executive platinum. And then that's where it ends on American Airlines.

Right. But they actually became public with with this higher secret level, which is called concierge key.

And dude, I can't get it. I don't know what the fuck you can't get it. It's first of all, it is based off of the amount of money you spend on that airline.

Right. It's not based on how much you fly. This drives me nuts because we now exclusively by first class tickets because I travel with my service dog.

Yeah. You know, and my service dog is rather large. So I was sure that buying first class tickets for both me and my tour manager here's got that that would do the trick.

How much for how much of money do I need to spend?

And I'll tell you exactly. Okay. I'm on 20,000 dollars a month. A month.
